ALDORLEA'S THE KING'S HEROES IS OUT!!!!!

[Indinera]

thanks Indinera!i forgot to mention that this demo felt a lot like earlier rpgs like Zelda, maybe its the way the spritew are shown and the item icons..oh and the doors too i think..a bit nostalgic hehe

I believe this is good nostalgia then

and Vald i know what you mean about the clothing haha! though i reaaly liked Trillian's winged stileto shoes lol!

Yup they have pretty nice outfits all of them, the Commander probably has the classiest though

Indi, I have just been to "The Hole".

Spoiler: show

It's the only cave/dungeon I really enjoyed so far because it's just a straight forward path. No getting lost, and no trying to find the exit again, and running around in circles. That's why I like those footsteps you sometimes add. Because no matter which sidepath I take, I can always find my way back.

And about Story mode: I like that the enemy is easier to kill, because they only have 25% of the HP they usually have. BUT... it would also have been great if their fighting power was at least halved.

Spoiler: show

When I went into the botanical garden, I couldn't believe the fighting power of most of the enemies. I found the ring and left the botanical garden with just Frank still alive. It was tough!!

[Indinera]

Yes, everything else is identical in Story. I could implement your suggestion.

I have just finished the pyramid. I would have preferred it if, after having finished my task, I had been given a choice to be able to transport back to the main entrance rather than having to march all the way back out again. I have killed all enemies on the way up, so there was no reason for me to "walk" all the way back down other than getting bored and tired. This option would be nice to have with all dungeons, caves, etc.

You can use Egress and if none of your characters has it, you can purchase a cheap item that does it (the name escapes me right now).

[Valdy]

And here I go again, forgetting about Egress. *sigh* Yes, my Minister Jefferson has it. Will use it in future. Thanks, Indi.

I also did the Arena, and got something Christmassy. LOL

Ahahahahah you got the staff

[Valdy]

Oh yes. That Candy Cane is great. And I have got some pretty good weapons now - those that didn't cost over 10.000 each, of course. I rather buy 2 great weapons for 2 people than 1 super weapon for just one person.

Got the first 9 rings now, and am heading to the first tower. Yayyy...

Spoiler: show

And I met Jabba's wife, Jabbine the Slut !! hahaha That was funny. Either my guys have now incredible weapons (and they are between level 38 and 43) or the "down-the-well to the ice place" was really easy.

At the moment, Frank is using Beastslaughter, Gail has the Candy Cane, Jefferson has the Inquisition Sword, and Callyope has the Frozen Bow (changed to Underworld Bow).

[Indinera]

It's good stuff for Tyten Bacci.

[Valdy]

Indi, I am starting again. As I told you, I have the 9 rings, and am at the last stage of the Tower. I will put the next part into spoilers because it will reveal quite a bit:

Spoiler: show

With the team I currently had (Frank, Gail, Jefferson, Callyope) I was able to get to the very end of the tower. But after killing one enemy, Frank suddenly turned on us (the bugger) and I only had the other 3 to play with. Didn't work. Without him they were just too weak, and I got killed every time.
So now I chose a different team: Novak, Mona, Callyope, and Frank again. I use Frank last, because I don't want to lose his multiple hitting power when the time comes again. Rather lose Novak. And Callyope was able to hit 4x before we attacked. So she is vital. But Jefferson was not terribly good, and Gail was just too weak on the whole.

I have a question, Indi: Will the game be finished once I manage to defeat that thing that Frank became in the Tower? I am asking because it says that there are 50+ hours of gameplay, and I have only played just under 18 hours when I reached the final stage of the tower.

[Indinera]

Spoiler: show

hmmm dont like spoiling but yes close enough.
that said the count was for normal mode at least, not story (which is bound to be much faster with monsters at 25% of their HP)
also considering i've accelerated the characters' speed due to your request, there is no way it could last 50H, I might want to adjust it to smth lower

[Valdy]

Thank you for the info, Indi. I am enjoying this game very much, and it's interesting to see how things work out with the different sets of teams. In fact, I will give Attack Mode a go after playing this new group in Story Mode, just to see how I get along. From your description, it looks to be an interesting mode.

Actually, I have changed my mind about using Mona, and will exchange her for Trillian the Magneto Witch, because I could use someone who can paralyze. Very important that, especially towards the end. May start again now with her in it instead of Mona.

Spoiler: show

It's good to know that I was near the end when I gave up. So it wasn't all in vain. I haven't reinstalled the game, so my guys walk at the same speed as before. As I said before, I don't mind, because now I am used to it.

ETA: Wow... Indi... I just tried out Attack Mode, and my guys are running way too fast. Makes me feel queasy. It would be great if I could just set it to fast or normal with the SHIFT button. Don't like them running this fast.

More ETA: Nope, sorry. Just can't play it in this mode. The speed with which my guys run makes my head spin. That's much too fast for me. So long, Attack Mode. LOL Will continue now with my new group in Story mode.

a difficult one

OK. Have fun along the way. I, too, loved to try out different arrangements, that's why beta-testing this game wasn't as tedious as it usually gets after a while.

That's probably a side effect of accelerating the default ones though

I'll think of adding a possibility to choose a "slow" Attack Mode
